Thanks Nana. All is fine here. The meat bird business has taken off this year. And the egg business as well. Going the certified organic rout soon. And GMO-free

Good morning.

Hi! Two questions... 1. Is Newcastle on for tonight? and 2. What the heck happened to Blanchard??? Jim

Hi. Been a while since I last posted, although I have been lurking a bit here and there. Just wanted to give those of you in eastern OK a heads up about a pastured poultry workshop in the Fayetteville, AR area. We are going and I'm pretty excited about it. Some of the presenters are stars of the...

We are considering going to the Mountain View goat and sheep sale on Saturday. Anybody ever been to that? How is it and what is the quality of the goats? http://lawton.craigslist.org/grd/4159118829.html Sheep & Goat Sale (Mtn. View) Saturday, November 2 - 1 p.m. Unloading schedule: 5 p.m. -...

You lend any auction credibility by simply showing up. "Mike's here! It's officially an auction now!" :) Quote: And it is a steal even at that price. Man, these things are the best egg layers I've ever seen in my short chicken career. Went out to lock them up last night and found yet...

Hey, all. I just picked up some nice chickens from a guy in Duncan. They are hybrid layers that lay big brown eggs. Red Star pullets from Murray McMurray hatched in May of this year. He said he has 700 of them for sale for $12 each, or $10 if you buy in large quantities. Here's a representative...

Hey, Sooner! We are growing out 6 turkeys and 45 broilers that are due for freezer camp in abt 3 weeks. Looking tasty already! I heard from Mike D someone is looking for processing lessons. Whoever it is, shoot me a pm.

Good morning!

OK. just let me know when they are ready and how much! Save a male for me if you can. Do you still have my number?

And still waiting...

Sorry, but no. Should have caught him a couple of years ago. But I'll pass on the complement. :)

Cool watering system for pastured poultry, by a fellow Okie currently farming in VA...

Pretty much. I've decided to use my 16 foot trailer with sides and put all of the equipment in the front. It has tall sides to strap it all to, and it is big enough to still put a lot of stuff in the back if I want to haul something. If we decide to do it, that is. :) The trick is to charge...

Hey, y'all. I ordered 50 Jumbo Cornish Cross from Murray McMurray hatchery yesterday, due to arrive week of September 16, for our fall batch of meat birds. Going to order 200 layer pullets in late September, to be ready for next spring. We can actually do the pastured poultry thing now that we...

Hey, modernman, sent you a PM. Still waiting for a check for an auction a few weeks ago. jcatblum, congrats on the pups. I lost my big male GP a couple of months ago so I'm in the market for a new one. At least, I am if I can talk my wife into it. :) Let me know if you are willing to part...

Could someone from the Newcastle auction PM me, please? Or email storypage at yahoo.com. Thanks. Jim

Thanks! :) I am now walking distance from my work. Once we are fully moved and our farm cleaned up, we will probably use our big trailer for the mobile processing unit. So, we have all the parts, just need to strap it together.

And I passed. Easier than expected. The guy was impressed by our modified chicken tractor, and had apparently never seen an automatic waterer. Another step in our move to homesteading in the city, complete.

Thanks, jcat. Ups and downs. Right now my daughter in Texas is in the hospital with a mystery illness, so mostly down.
